Trendsetting SHOW LUO makes it to the top of our "hottest male" list! Bang Wei-Tin(reporter) chats with the Trendy Man on what makes him tick.

Show Luo is one helluva good looking guy. As much as he tries to distract from that with his slapstick humour, up close, the Asian megastar is nothing short of gorgeous - his complexion flawless, profile stunning, and stare as you might, you just won't be able to make out those infamous eye baga! But it takes more than a pretty face or buff bod to make it to the list. We love Show for reasons more than his super-hot(obviously!) exterior! Dressed comfortably in a well-pressed grey shirt and dark cord pants, the singer was in town to accept an award at the inaugural Singapore Awards, showed us why he deserved a spot on out sizzling hot list!

The dude is seriously talented!

Even with the biggest acts diversifying into various other platforms (Jay Chou with acting, or Jolin Tsai doubling up as a fashion designer for instance), no one does multi-tasking as well as the 29-year-old, who has been bitten by the performance bug since he was a mere tot at age three. These days, aside from fulfilling mundane duties like acting, singing and hosting, the versatile performer appears to be collecting awards left, right and centre! His latest? Show scooped up several awards including Best All-Rounded Artiste of the Year!

"This award is so important to me because it is the first one I've ever received in Singapore since releasing my solo album five years ago. To tell the truth, I've been wondering what the cause of the delay is! Ha ha! This means my work is finally being noticed and recognised here."

He has also set his sights, says Show, on a Golden Melody Award, Taiwan's equivalent of the Grammys. "I want to win an award for best composer or the likes since I've been writing songs. It's quite cool to be named an all-rounder too. It is quite a rarity to dabble in so many areas like I do, so it is quite difficult to achieve this. I really appreciate the recognition."

He's so stylish it hurts!Everywhere Show goes, an entourage of beauty prefessionals including a stylist, hair and makeup is bound to follow! So it's no wonder this former ah beng("tai ke") has transformed into a stylish Trendy Man! Show loves that he now has the power to influence trends although he seems genuinely flummoxed to be so widely imitated by fashionistas everywhere!

Show says sheepishly, "I feel so embarrassed to praise myself this way! But at the same time, I'm hugely flattered that there are people copying my style. For someone who has gone through horrible stages of sporting blonde streaks in my hair, it's actually pretty neat that people think I'm cool now! I was at an event earlier where all the guys in the audience sported the same asymmetrical hairstyle as mine. That's bizarre!"

Despite everything, he's still humble!Show may be tall, handsome, talented and rich, but we reckon it's his down-to-earth and infectious personality that makes him a hit with the girls! It's easy to see where Show gets his humility from. Years of surviving showbiz have made him appreciate his current success even more!

"My fans are the reason why I keep going on despite the hardship. I've gone past the stage where thanking them verbally is enough. I'd rather do so through my action, taking vocal classes to improve my skills and coming up with good works."

Neither is this level-headed superstar a fan of inflated grandeur. "I still dislike it when people refer to me as 'Asia's Dance King' for instance. It makes me feel uneasy and overly conscious. I don't mind 'Trendy Man' though. That's a namesake I think I can live with. Haha!"

His friends are just as insanely hot!Show Luo hit an all-time high when he cast a slew of reigning superstars for the music video of 'Support'. The concept of the video, according to Show who also doubles as the director, was borne out of a feeling of gratitude towards those who have helped him during his career lows. Sharing screen time with him are fellow hotties the likes of Blackie, Dee Hsu, Barbie Hsu, Jacky Wu and Jolin Tsai who were roped in to do a little jiggy with him!

"These friends are truly amazing! They didn't even ask for any form of remuneration and agreed to help me with this video the minute I asked. I'll always remember the hates, but it's those who have helped me that I truly want to thank!"

Thank you for sharing ^^ I never knew he isn't feeling comfortable when they call him Asia's Dace King right, the reason what makes him special is indeed because when he is famous, rich and good-looking his personality towards his friends and fans won't change. Love him! Go Show!
